It is recommended that you have decided and
planned your Teams sessions before creating
scheduled events in Teams. It is good to know
the date(s) and time(s) of sessions as well as
having details of participants (students) and
presenters (staff).
Open Teams using your Desktop app
(preferred) or
through www.office.com.
- Open the list of Teams from the
left-most panel and locate the
required team with which you will
schedule a meeting
- Once you have located your Team
click on the General or other
specific channel (the
guide will focus on the General
channel).
- On the top right of your General
channel you should see a Meet button.
- Click on the dropdown next
to the Meet button and choose Schedule a
meeting.
You will be prompted to add
your details for the
meeting:
- Add meeting title: Give the meeting a descriptive title.
- Choose the date and time: that you wish to schedule this meeting and also choose if you wish for the meeting to be repeated.
- Channel option: You will find the channel option underneath the date and time fields, choose the relevant channel to share this meeting with.
- Add a description for this meeting: Add a description for your meeting - possibly some of objectives and expectations for the meeting.
- When you are happy with your meeting details click Save.
You will see the meeting display in the Posts section of your channel.
To
ensure that only
you have suitable permissions
configured for your session, the settings
will need
to be modified.
To do this:
- Click on the ellipsis (3 dots) to
the right of the meeting and click View meeting
details.
- Then
click on Meeting options located to the top of the meeting
settings.
- The
Meeting options will
display.
- In the
Meeting options you can
configure:
- Who
can bypass the
lobby
- Who
can present – We would
suggest changing this setting to Only me if you are the
only person presenting in the
meeting, to
ensure only you have those rights.
- If you intend to have several
presenters in your teams meeting
this would need to be set up in
advance of customizing these
meeting details. Please visit
article "How do I set up my teams
meeting to have multiple
presenters" for the necessary
steps.
- Allow
mic for attendees – this
setting can be changed within the
meeting if
necessary, or configured
beforehand here.
- Allow
camera – this setting can
be changed within the meeting if
necessary.
- Record
automatically – Leave this
set to No.
To share your meeting with your students
through Moodle:

- Once the link has been copied, return to your Moodle page and add a URL resource using the activity picker.
- Paste the link you have copied from Teams
into a URL resource.

descriptive title will help students
differentiate sessions.
